Story
Earle the Pearl: A Tale of Resilience and Joy Earle the Pearl is a delightful 20-pound bundle of energy, with a heart as big as his personality. At just two years old, Earle's journey began in November 2025 when he was found abandoned, tied to a fence outside a vet's office. Despite this rough start, Earle hasn't let it dampen his spirit. Personality and Activities Earle is the epitome of a “happy-go-lucky” pup. He loves to dive headfirst into activities, whether it's wrestling with his shepherd foster brother or snuggling on the sofa with his pittie foster sisters. Earle thrives on companionship and prefers to be in the midst of the action. Crate Training and Mischief While Earle isn't fond of being crated, it’s a necessary measure for his safety when his foster family is out. He can manage about four hours before he starts plotting his escape, accompanied by a serenade of canine tunes. When not crated, Earle is a curious explorer—checking out table tops, counters, and even attempting online shopping! Play and Exercise Earle is happiest with a playmate, whether it’s a fellow dog or an active family member. He enjoys exploring the fenced backyard and romping in the snow, especially when decked out in a cozy sweater. With his love for running and exceptional vertical leap, Earle needs space to expend his energy. Sleeping and House Training Earle sleeps comfortably in a crate in the bedroom at night, though he dreams of snuggling under the covers with humans and other dogs. He’s made significant progress with house training, but supervision is key due to his small bladder. His initial challenges were compounded by hookworms, but he's on the mend. Ideal Home Earle would flourish in a home with a yard and an active family. Older children and/or a canine sibling would be ideal companions for this lively pup. While his breed mix remains a mystery, his Dachshund-like physique and unique stature make him a distinctive member of any family. If you're ready to welcome a dog who’s “all in” with love and enthusiasm, Earle the Pearl might be your perfect match. Complete an application today to meet this extraordinary dog! www.k9ei.dog

Story
Meet Mulan, this precious little dachshund-beagle mix with the biggest heart and the sweetest soul  Born in October 2025, Mulan is already winning everyone over with her gentle nature and happy spirit. She’s expected to be around 30 pounds fully grown — the perfect medium size for cuddling on the couch, joining you on adventures, or curling up at your feet. Mulan absolutely adores other dogs and would thrive in a home with a playful canine sibling.  Her affectionate, easygoing personality makes her a wonderful companion for families, couples, or anyone looking for a loyal best friend. This smart girl is already potty-pad trained and crate trained — she settles nicely in her crate and is well on her way to being a polite little housemate. For a young puppy, she’s impressively adaptable and eager to please. Before coming into rescue, Mulan was living outside and was sadly hit by a car, resulting in a broken leg. She had surgery to repair her leg, and has healed beautifully and is doing great! She’s resilient, strong, and ready to leave her past behind her for a safe, loving forever home! All Mulan needs now is someone to show her what it feels like to be cherished for a lifetime. If you’re looking for a sweet, social, and snuggly companion with a brave little heart, Mulan might just be your perfect match! If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application  . Your application will be reviewed by our team and if it is a good fit, we will send to the foster family to set up a meet! The adoption fee of $550 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size.
